Yeah, it's more of a love thing.

You know, I'm not going to lie to you.

Like, it's, you know, long-time listener, first-time caller type of thing, Tony.

And then I get invited, and it's, you know, I wear my special underwear, special cologne.

Yeah, I returned it to Michael for you, by the way.

No, it's a great question.

This is the final roster.

But until the United States men play their first game, Tony, they can –

with injuries or whatnot, that is the final roster.

And I think it's a great question because

many a times you name the roster this is the first roster that they want they play two friendlies going into the world cup you have certain injuries players may get you know chris richards you and i are talking as you said 7 30 this morning he plays a game tonight in england right so he could get injured you know knock on wood they don't obviously happen so the first u.s game june 12th when that game kicks off that is officially your roster for the world cup okay

That changed after COVID.

It used to be 23, but now it used to be only three subs.

You can now make five subs, but Tony, you only get three instances in a game to make a sub.

So I know that's very confusing, but it's real simple.

In the second half, once the game kicks off, you then get three times to make a sub, but you can sub five players.

And what happened during COVID was they realized that with the amount of games that these players are playing, over 60-some-odd games at the highest level, and with international tournaments then coming into the summers, they changed that.

So it used to be 23, and then after COVID, it's now 26.

No, no.

So you all dress, you're all part of that on game day roster, all of that.
